Clark noticed the following snippit in commit
070976b5b038218900648ea4cc88786d5dfcd58d :

        if (mnt->mnt_pinned) {
-               inc_mnt_count(mnt);
+               preempt_disable();
+               dec_mnt_count(mnt);
+               preempt_enable();
                mnt->mnt_pinned--;
        }
        vfsmount_write_unlock();


I accidentally replaced an inc_mnt_count() with a dec_mnt_count().

The issue went unnoticed, as the only user of mnt_unpin in the acct
syscall.

This patch corrects the mistake.

In testing the mnt_count typo fix, I hit a few BUG_ON/WARN_ON messages
in the mntput_no_expire code.

The first issue was a race against the MNT_MOUNTED flag, where if after
the optimistic lock free check is done, someone changes the value, we
might BUG_ON after getting the lock.  The fix is after getting the lock,
re-check the MNT_MOUNTED bit and drop the lock and try again if its
changed.

The second issue was a call to smp_processor_id() in add_mnt_count()
that was done while preemptable. This was missed in my earlier commit
070976b5b038218900648ea4cc88786d5dfcd58d.
